    The key takeaways are that Bergey's Manual is a reference work that provides taxonomy and classification information on prokaryotes. It has been published for over 80 years and is now in its 9th edition.

    Bergey's Manual of Systematics of Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a reference work that provides extensive descriptive information on the taxonomy, systematics, physiology, ecology and habitats of prokaryotic groups as well as their evolutionary classification.

    The manual provides detailed descriptions for researchers, an introduction to literature for external biologists, and an overview for students.

    What is Bergey’s Manual?

    Bergey's Manual of Systematics of


    Archaea and Bacteria (BMSAB) is a
    reference work aimed at
    undergraduates, graduate students,
    researchers, professors and
    experienced professionals at all
    levels.
    The manuals provide extensive
    descriptive information of the
    taxonomy, systematics,
    physiology, ecology and habitats
    of individual prokaryotic groups as
    well as a natural classification of
    prokaryotes that reflects their
    evolutionary history.
    What the Manual is depends on who
    is reading it.

     For microbiology researchers,


    clinicians, and other professionals, it
    provides detailed and authoritative
    descriptions of each of the prokaryotic
    groups prepared by experts who have
    first-hand experience.
     For biologists and other researchers
    from outside microbiology, it provides
    an introduction to the literature for
    specific prokaryotic groups.

     For students, it provides a


    panoramic overview of prokaryotic
    biology and the richness of
    prokaryotic life.
    Importance of the Manual

     This manual has served the


    community of microbiologists since
    more than 80 years and is a
    compendium of information on all
    recognized species of bacteria
    (prokaryotes).
     Any discussion dealing with
    bacterial (prokaryotic)
    classification cannot go without
    a thorough acquaintance with
    this manual.
     Each chapter of this
    treatise, written by an
    expert, contains tables,
    figures, and other
    systematic information
    useful for identification of
    bacteria.
    History of Bergey's Manual


    1923 – publication of the
    Manual’s 1st edition, entitled
    “Bergey's Manual of
    Determinative Bacteriology ”
     initiated by action of the Society of
    American Bacteriologists (now
    called the American Society for
    Microbiology) by appointment of an
    Editorial Board consisting of David
    H. Bergey, Chairman, Francis C.
    Harrison, Robert S. Breed, Bernard
    W. Hammer, and Frank M.
    Huntoon.
     1925 – publication of Manual’s
    2nd Edition

     1930 - publication of Manual’s


    3rd Edition

    1934 - the Society of American
    Bacteriologists transferred to Dr.
    Bergey all its rights, title, and
    interests in the Manual in order to
    allow Bergey to create an
    independent, non-profit trust,
    namely, The Bergey’s Manual Trust.
    Throughout the years, this trust
    continues to prepare and publish
    successive editions of the
    manual and promotes research
    in the field of bacterial taxonomy.
    At present, Bergey’s Manual is already in its
    9th Edition.

     The first eight editions of this


    manual appeared under the title
    ‘Bergey’s Manual of Determinative
    Bacteriology’. 
     The 9th edition was retitled and
    was published as the 1st edition under
    the title ‘Bergey’s Manual of
    Systematic Bacteriology’, which
    consisted of four volumes published in
    1984, 1986, 1989, and 1991,
    respectively. This infect was the first
    edition of the Manual under the
    changed title.
